Nursery Prints

For the past few weeks, I have been busy working on my Paper Art. All my creations are hand cut, no fancy cutting machines for this gal.  I love using decorative papers and embossing some of them to give my images a special look.  Now,  these six prints are ready to make their debut in my Whimsy Kreations Shop. 

I am pleased to announce that I have decided to go International with my my Shop. Stop by for a visit, you just might find the print you've been looking for.

The Creation Of A Paper Doll

First of all, I had to come up with an idea. I came up with this particular creation after ordering curly wool from a marvelous shop on Etsy called Dream Fiber.  As soon as I saw it, I thought what lovely hair this would make. 

Then I cut out all the pieces to make my creation, making sure 

I had the right beads for the eyes.

I liked the idea of a little girl with her puppy and creating 

an old fashioned look to her.

Oh, I think that's a little puppy peeking around her skirt.

The faces are coming together now as I  carefully place each piece.

How fun it is seeing it all come together.  I will have this creation in my Whimsy Kreations shop on Etsy at the end of next week.  I do hope you will stop by and see her.

Working with Paper and Canvas

The first picture is a mixed media piece.  I have ribbon, a heart button, bird cut outs, blue and pink card stock and a stamped floral design which I have colored with my water color pencils. I am pleased with the results. The birds look as though they are flying over water and the ribbon resembles palm leaves.  The floral stamp finishes off the edges of the design.  I have not glued them in place yet, but when it is done I plan on putting it onto a canvas frame.

The cut outs are my own design and are glued directly on a canvas.  

The mane of the Lion and the grass pop out a bit to give it a three dimentional effect.  

I have no idea what this little elephant is looking for but he sure does have his eye in that palm tree.  I am having fun creating these paper cutouts. This little elephant is one of my favorites.  Using all these different papers really give the piece a lot of texture and depth.
